Grumpy MPI. Now there's a name for a new open source project, if I have ever seen one.
Let's start it now - a new MPI implementation which is intended for clouds and geographically
separated machines with high latencies between them. The MPI implementation will cope with
Network interruptions of a long duration, but will of course produce copious grumpy error messages.
